U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at Arizona’s Port of San Luis arrested a Yuma resident in a failed attempt to smuggle nearly half a pound of methamphetamine into the United States Thursday.
Officers at the pedestrian crossing referred a 51-year-old U.S. citizen woman for further inspection where canine led to the discovery of nearly $1,200 worth of methamphetamine concealed inside the suspect’s crotch.
Officers seized the methamphetamine and arrested the woman, turning her over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations.
